PIP Innovations D-BLADE Carrot Industry
Description
Introducing the ultimate solution: D-BLADE
Revolutionize your production process with cutting technology using delta robots, machine vision and patented multipurpose blade designs. D-BLADE is the first potato processing machine in existence that uses delta robots and vision technology.
The delta robots (2 or 6 in one machine) can cut potatoes 3–5 times per second per robot with exceptional precision.
Custom made software for all your cutting needs
D-Blade allocates the required cuts exactly where you need them to be by means of Vision technology. The full system is customized to meet the customer's specific requirements, for optimal performance and efficient processing.
The machines are flexible and low maintenance, with the ability to make software adjustments. With deep learning, the machine continues to improve its performance and gain experience by recognizing patterns and making improvements to the code. The machine remains up-to-date, and its performance is optimized through regular updates from their software developers.

- High Yield: Only remove what you need to remove
- High Capacity: Up to 4 cuts per second per robot
- Improved Product Quality: Precise position of the cut and clean, straight cuts
- Handle any Size or Shape: Size or shape do not matter
- Low Maintenance: Few moving parts and open accessible design
- Defect Removal: Remove defects from your produce
The capacity of D-Blade is not calculated in kilo’s or pounds but in cuts per second.
Capacity Per Robot
Cutting speed is determined by the distance the arms need to move from cut to cut. The higher or bigger the product, the more time it takes. For pick and place applications, i.e. Hasselback, the speed is approximately 1 Hasselback per second. Please see the minimum cutting speed for different applications, assuming proper belt load.
Example Calculation
To calculate your required capacity in metric tons per hour use the following calculation: [# of robots] * [3600 seconds] * [average weight of produce in kg’s] * [ cuts per robot per second ] = 6 * 3600 * 0,2 * 3,5 = 15.1 metric tons per hour
